Actors wearing their own brands isn’t a new thing, but it’s a smart idea. They save lakhs of rupees on designer wear and there’s the added benefit of self-promotion.Salman Khan started this trend by wearing Being Human tees everywhere to promote the brand, whose 100 per cent profits go to the the BH charity foundation. Hrithik Roshan followed in Khan’s footsteps, donning his HRX brand every opportunity he got, and now it’s John Abraham wearing his signature Eckõ shirts. And guess what? He is the co-owner of the American franchise in India.

When quizzed about it, John says, “Eckõ Unltd is an American brand and I co-own the franchise in India, so it’s not an endorsement as such. All my tees usually come from there and I wear track pants with them. For denim wear, too, it’s the same brand and I design it the way I want to. I create my own style with my own clothes and I have my own team in Bengaluru for that. They design clothes for the youth of today and everyone else.” The actor-producer adds that he has big plans of launching his brand in September this year. “I am concentrating on that as I want my brand to be the biggest one in India.”

The actor says he has a minimal wardrobe. “I have enough clothes to fit into one suitcase and the minute it gets beyond that, I give them away. I don’t keep too many clothes as my lifestyle is very frugal. It’s always been like that from day one.”

http://www.bollywoodlife.com/news-gossip/confirmed-hrithik-roshan-to-sue-kangana-ranaut/#respondTue, 15 Mar 2016 10:28:43 +0000http://www.bollywoodlife.com/?p=685485The battle of the exes has taken a completely new turn!

It is CONFIRMED that Hrithik Roshan has filed a legal notice against Kangana Ranaut for calling him her ‘silly ex’ in an interview she gave weeks ago. Let us refresh your memory, this war of words between the alleged ex-lovers of Bollywood started when Kangana was quizzed about being ousted from the much talked about film Aashiqui 3, which was to see Hrithik Roshan in the lead role. “Yes, many lame rumours are doing the rounds, even a dumba** can tell where these rumours are coming from. I don’t know why exes do silly things to get your attention. For me that chapter is over and I don’t dig graves,” Kangana had said in an interview.

This interview went viral and for the first time there was an official reference being made to Hrithik-Kangana’s love affair which was kept under wraps. After the interview made headlines, Hrithik took matters in his own hands and made a sly remark on social media by tweeting – “Ther r more chances of me having had an affair with d Pope dan any of d (Im sure wonderful) women d media hs ben naming.Thanks but no thanks,” on Januray 28. Of course without even realising Hrithik had only added fuel to the fire. Of course Kangana was not going to back down after this the actress went on record and said, “No. I am not hurt. I respect the other person’s opinion also. It’s very likely that a person can have a different perspective on the same situation or rather the past. But then, stick to your stand. Don’t slyly pursue people and spy on them, and chase them. So, we sign and seal the deal and then move on.” Not only did this exchange between Hrithik-Kangana grab limelight, but the couple’s relationship in the past became official.

Now the reports of the two slapping legal notice on each other has made things even uglier. BollywoodLife has CONFIRMED news that the Mohenjo Daro actor is indeed suing Kangana Ranaut. A close source revealed to us that the Rangoon actress is taken aback. The source too confirmed this bit and added, “Kangana is currently seeking legal opinion before making any comments.” Hrithik is currently in Spain busy in the promotions of an upcoming awards function.

We tried to reach Hrithik and Kangana’s publicists and are yet to get a confirmation on the news. Looks like the ex-lovers tiff is going to make more news in the coming days.

Kangana Ranaut‘s recent sportswear ad gave us ideas which will definitely benefit your brand HRx, Hrithik Roshan. In the video, she is every bit fit, something you assert on always. Now, your brand also designs sportswear for female and while you have Tiger Shroff endorsing it, it would do a whale of good to your brand if you get in Kangana for the brand as well. Why? If the video isn’t enough, let us give you a few reasons based on the same one…

#Actually fit: You would agree Hrithik that someone who is fit should endorse your brand. Tiger Shroff is one of the fittest young actors of today. So naturally, you would want a fitter actress too. Kangana has lifted weights, did yoga and lot more in that video. Surely, one cannot do all that if she is not actually fit. Right?

#Ideal face: Women believe in being fitter which also makes them look good. Kangana is perfect for that since even when she is sweating it out, she is extremely desirable. Anybody would love to have a female brand ambassador like that.

#Silence the rumour mongers: Now, you are aware how your relationship with her was played out in the press. In fact, some really nasty comments were exchanged between you two. While she called you an ex doing silly things for attention, you retorted by saying there are more chances of you having an affair with a Pope. With all that mud-slinging what was left behind was a bitter aftertaste. With her in your team, you can quell it forever giving people the impression that things aren’t as bad as it seems.

What say? Have we made our point? But before you give an answer, check out her video again.

We have a feeling you will surely agree with us!

http://www.bollywoodlife.com/news-gossip/hrithik-roshan-reaches-11-million-followers-on-twitter-and-we-know-why/#respondFri, 18 Sep 2015 08:54:37 +0000http://www.bollywoodlife.com/?p=601223He is not all about sage tweets but some fun too…here’re the proofs!

In the month of June, Hrithik Roshan hit the 10 million followers mark on Twitter. Given the way he shares profound thoughts on the platform, we weren’t surprised to see that number. His tweets always make everyone think hard about life. And within a few months, he has crossed the 11 million mark as well. But we feel there is more to his magic than just profound tweets. It will be wrong to assume that it is only his profound thoughts that won him so many followers. He has often exhibited his playful side on Twitter which will tell you why he is a fun guy. Let us give a few examples of the same…

Hrithik Roshan believes in doing things in his own way. While men have been trying to get a similar physique, women have been lusting over his body since the time he stormed the theatres with Kaho Naa…Pyaar Hain. No wonder that a few years down the line, he decided to come up with a fitness video, boosting his brand HRx. Sushant Singh Rajput, recently tried something similar and we asked you to tell us, which one you liked the most. Well, the results are here and we aren’t surprised to see Hrithik winning it with a huge margin.

Although the HRx video with Hrithik sweating out trying to Defeat Defeat seemed too made up, it did show the actor pulling off some amazing and strenuous exercises. You don’t get that body without some serious hardwork and guess that’s what helped him win this poll, easily. Hrithik has won 83 percent of the votes, which proves his body is what everyone aspires to have.

As for Sushant’s fitness video, it was more real and believable where he is seen doing outdoor exercises to stay fit. But it seems fans aren’t too kicked about it as he won a measly 17 percent.

Sushant, better luck next time then!

Fitness is perhaps is the only other thing that our Bollywood actors feel so strongly about after their films. Everyone from Akshay Kumar to Hrithik Roshan advocate staying fit and the recent addition to that list is Sushant Singh Rajput who released a video called Till I Get Right recently showing off his exercise regime. But we couldn’t shake off the fact that the premise of the video seemed very familiar and then it struck us. Hrithik Roshan too had come up with a similar video flaunting his rigorous exercise regime to defeat defeat. It was a promotional video for his brand HRx. If you ask us, we would go with Hrithik’s video any day but we would want to know what you think of these two video and who according to you have killed it here!

Hrithik’s fitness video is very impactful which can be easily mistaken for a set of a film. The grunge backdrop and a sweating Hrithik exercising in the midst of it look surreal. The video is all about overcoming the sense of defeat. In other words, it stresses upon staying healthy and strong despite all odds. Yes, it does look a bit made up but it gets its point across.

Sushant’s video is more real. But funnily both the video start on a similar note. Hrithik starts with What’s defeat? while Sushant keeps it to What’s happiness? Sushant isn’t seen sweating it out in a close space with a dark gloomy ambiance but out in the open. It emphasises more about finding success as long as you can and do it till you get it right.

Well, one thing is for sure. Both the videos have a lot of drama in them. So now it’s your turn to pick the best fitness video out of the two.

There is a way out of every struggle that one may encounter in life – that’s the message actor Hrithik Roshan has given out after successfully overcoming obstacles. The star, who has successfully battled stammering and more, says if you have the right point of view, handicaps can become your wings.

Be it the “Bang Bang!” star’s flexible and swift dance moves or his eight pack midriff, the 41-year-old has managed to enchant the ladies time and again.

And now, he is lauded for his clothing brand HRX’s new video “Defeat Defeat”. The actor, however, credits all his success and stardom to the struggles he has faced.

“I am who I am today not in spite of my handicaps and struggles, but because of them. If you’ve the right perspective towards your struggles or your pain that you’re going through, they can actually become your wings. It can help you fly higher and that is the message I want to send,” Hrithik told.

His split from wife Sussanne last year did not stop him from delivering a hit like Bang Bang! and he believes every person has the potential to overcome their struggles if they choose to. He wants to emphasise on that message through his brand.

“A human being has to build his own awareness of his mind to be able to harness his resources to enable him to rise from every fall and to overcome any hurdle or struggle or handicap,” he said. “And that’s an education our youth and children need, we send them out into the world with knowledge of history and geography but not the tools and wisdom they will need to navigate through the real issues in their lives, the issues that may leave them emotionally drained depressed and lonely thinking they are failures.”

“HRX aims to empower just that,” he said. Calling himself a “living example” of a person who overcame every struggle in his life, Hrithik, who is currently shooting for his forthcoming film Mohenjo Daro in Bhuj, said that if he can do it, so can anyone.

He said, “I am a living example of it. So, I want to use my example to tell people that there is no difference between me and them. I often hear my fans looking at me and saying ‘Oh but that’s Hrithik, he can do it because he is Hrithik Roshan’.”

“I want to completely expose that myth and tell people that I can do it not because of who I am but because of the mental tools we all have access to. I want to tell them that I am exactly the same as them. And if I found my way out, if I can use my mind and my awareness to achieve what I have achieved, then so can you.”

E-commerce platform Myntra is featuring HRX exclusively, and speaking about the brand, Hrithik said it is a symbol that guides him and empowers him to propagate his message to people who want change in their life.

“It’s a platform through which I want to empower the people who want to create a change in their life, but don’t know how. I want to give them the education about the tools and resources with which, we can harness the power of our minds. It is not just a fashion brand, it’s many things in one, but most importantly, the vision is to empower,” the actor said.

With his chiselled muscular physique and his green eyes, the star’s fans think he is the perfect package for Hollywood. Asked if he has any plans to work in the west, he said he has “been reading scripts” and “talking to filmmakers as well” but nothing is official yet.

Mohenjo Daro, directed by Ashutosh Gowariker, also stars Pooja Hegde, who is making her Bollywood debut with the film. It is set for Aug 12, 2016, release.

After the stupendous success of Agneepath and Krrish 3, Hrithik Roshan cemented his position as one of the most successful and powerful stars in the industry as Bang Bang continued his winning streak and created a splash at the box office, breaking quite a few records.

While Bang Bang was Hrithik’s biggest opener, it was also amongst the top 5 openers of all time in Bollywood. Bang Bang also set a box office record for Bollywood films in North America by reaching a total gross of $2.56 million making it the top Hindi movie of the year in the continent. The film also grossed $9.36 mn in 8 days internationally-4th fastest to cross $9 mn GBO, beating lifetime figures of all Hrithik Roshan movies.

Despite all this, the superstar has not had the time to celebrate the success of the film as he is occupied with his Indian Super League team commitments and his brand commitments apart from his signature brand HRX.

Says Hrithik Roshan, “To be honest I was a little surprised when it broke the Krrish 3 1st day record and Kicks 1st day record, as Bang Bang wasn’t a solo release. Perhaps I expected a little less but Bang Bang has proven its mettle and now sky is the limit. My congratulations to the entire team and a big thank you to my audience!”

Says a source close to HR, “Hrithik has a partnership with Myntra where they manufacture his lifestyle apparel and casual wear brand – HRX. and their line includes casual and active-wear, slim-fit apparel in peppy colours and sporty footwear for men. Currently, the clothes are sold online. But it must be said that opening a chain of stores nation-wide — just like Salman did with Being Human — has been on Hrithik’s mind for some time now.”

Adds the source, “Moreover, Roshan, who rarely walks the ramp, will do so to draw attention to his brand at a glittery, high-fashion event tonight, so that more people know what it is all about. After the event he plans to wear the HRX brand proudly (just as Salman does with BH) for most of his public events, parties and appearances.”

Hrithik’s spokesperson confirms the developments and adds, “Though he hasn’t designed the clothes completely, Hrithik has been personally involved a lot in the styling.”
